LETTER XXII. To an Early Companion and Playmate.

Cincinnati, July 6, 1914.
Mr Dear Emmy:

For I can only think of you, woman as you now are, as the " little Emmy " of the many happy days of childhood we have spent together. Can you make up your mind to listen to a very awful confession? In plain words, I love you as heartily now as ever, and if I may judge from our last night's meeting, after so long a separation you have not quite lost the remembrance of your old playfellow. But, joking apart, Time has done much for both of us; for you, in making you all that can be desired by man, as the object of his love and trust; for me, in enabling me to provide a home for her who has ever been dearest to me, and whose image has never faded from my memory amidst the varied exertions of a preliminary professional career.

And now, my dear Emmy, think well whether you can transfer that affection as a woman which, in your girl- hood, was my chiefest delight. We shall meet on Sun- day at Mrs. Winter's, and then, perhaps, my heart may be gladdened by a belief that " there is something in first loves."

Eagerly awaiting our meeting,
Believe me,

Your affectionate old playmate and new lover,

Sam Kingsley.
